Chapter 575 The Enticement and Hints in the Back Garden, Alice's Situation
The afternoon sun in the back garden of the Boreas mansion was so gentle that it made one feel drowsy.

However, even though Loki, Sylphie, and Izoruti were in the process of feeling sleepy, they were not sleepy at all.

"Hehe, it's good that Allen, that eyesore, isn't here. I can have a private chat with you guys. It's rare to have all three of you here."

Hilda's voice rang out, carried by the autumn wind to the other side of the stone table, past the chin of the sweating Lokishi, and to the upright posture of Izuru, who sat with her back straight, stomach in, and head held high. Finally, it swung to Hilfi, who was the most relaxed of the three.

Loki felt that Hilda's aura was too strong, and she didn't dare to look at her. So she glanced at Hilda, hoping to learn how to react like her.

—Lack of experience is one thing, but it doesn’t prevent junior teachers from learning quickly.

But before she could even look over, Hilda's next words made Silphie's hands tremble as she was pouring tea.

“Lufei has been working very hard at night for the past month or so. If you all come back, she can get some rest.”

Seeing the tea she had spilled outside her cup, Hilfi hurriedly grabbed a handkerchief to wipe it away. She managed to clean the tea stains from the table, but the blush on her face wouldn't go away no matter how much she wiped.
"I'm not that tired, it's just... okay."

Loki and Izoruti were stunned for a moment, and then they understood what Hilda was talking about through Sylphie's indirect reaction.

The former's eyes darted left and right as he recalled his late-night academic research with Allen. Suddenly, he felt a heat in his lower abdomen and his toes involuntarily gripped the soles of his boots.

The latter, however, lowered her eyes and pondered inwardly, now it was finally her turn.

On the way, Izuru and Loki chatted about the order of things, and the other person didn't quite understand Izuru's stubbornness.

In the eyes of an academic like Loki, who goes first and who goes last should clearly depend on their current physical strength and condition, so why should it depend on who falls in love with Allen first?

Does this matter?
However, Isoru felt that the order had to be followed.

She had already broken her own good morals from the Milis sect once, and the monogamous system was now shattered, so at least the rule of first come, first served should be followed, right?

Since I was the last one to arrive, I should naturally be the last one to board the ship with Allen.

Yes, even if the four of us end up sleeping together, we should still separate and have sex with each person first before we all sleep together.

Loki didn't know what Izoruti was thinking, otherwise she would have asked her whether this was following the rules or not. Clearly, it's the behavior of multiple people that's even more unacceptable!

Hilda glanced at Silphi: "The noise has been getting quieter these past few nights, and sometimes I can even get a good night's sleep."

Hilfi: !!!
Izuru, Loki: ? ? ? ?

Hilda paused, then stared wide-eyed at Sylphie and said, "Could it be that it's not that you lack strength, but that you're gradually adapting?"

"No, no, no, Madam!!!" Sylphy's eyes darted between Izuru and Loki, waving her hands frantically!
Hilda clasped her hands together: "This may not be a bad thing. One of the questions I asked you about today is about this."

The three of them fell silent and turned to look at Hilda.

The latter picked up his teacup: "Other noble families are thriving, but Boreas is not. Of course, this is related to Allen killing the James family, but they deserved to die, didn't they?"
But I'm still a little troubled, so I wanted to secretly ask you guys while Allen wasn't around.
Have you thought about how many children you want to have?

As soon as he finished speaking, the autumn wind blew across the stone tabletop.

The three of them remained silent, like statues.

Finally, Silphie lowered her head and raised her hand first, speaking softly, "As for my three children, since I have a longer lifespan, I have more free time to watch them grow up and so on."

Loki glanced up at Hilda and saw her smiling at her. For some reason, she blurted out:

"Four...four will do."

Hilda covered her mouth and laughed: "Loki is very confident."

Luo Qixi's eyes were practically swirling with excitement. She panicked for a moment and followed Xilufei's lead.

Izuru, on the other hand, was quite opinionated and not at all shy about discussing such topics. She smiled confidently, her eyes narrowing.
“My lady, I will listen to my senior brother. I will have as many children as he wants.”

Hilfi and Loki were both taken aback, secretly annoyed that this was the standard answer.

Hilda glanced at Izalti, as if remembering something, and a reminiscing expression appeared on her face:

"Speaking of this reminds me of when I was young, when my sweetheart and I agreed to have three children, and we actually did."

She paused slightly, a troubled expression on her face: "However, during my pregnancy, I urged my darling to take a few more concubines, but he refused each time. Now, the Boreas family is just Allen and Alice, the brother and sister, relying on each other for survival."
If there were more siblings, wouldn't this family be more lively? And Sylvie wouldn't be so exhausted while Allen was away, and her beloved wouldn't be without someone she could trust.
Oh dear, I've gone off on a tangent. I'm relieved that you all like children.

Thank you so much for fulfilling this old woman's wish.

After saying this, Hilda took the teapot from Silphie and poured tea for her daughters-in-law.

Loki's eyes were fixed on her, and she began to reconsider how many children she wanted, and how many times she would have to have sex with the ever-energetic Allen to achieve that result.

Sylphie suddenly turned and glanced at Izuru.

The smile on the latter's face remained the same as always, but in Sylphie's eyes, it appeared somewhat stiff.

Glug glug, after Hilda finished pouring the tea, she suddenly grabbed Izuru's hand with a flick of her wrist:
"Oh, right, there's something else I want to tell Izoruti."

I heard that His Holiness the Water God is somewhat dissatisfied with Allen's suggestion to simultaneously make you both his principal wives. To be honest, this was my suggestion as his mother, and it has little to do with Allen.
As you know, I wasn't feeling well a while ago, and Lufi was the one who kept using her healing techniques to help me recover, taking care of me day and night. So, from my personal perspective, I owe her a huge favor.

Miss Lokishi was Lufie's teacher in healing arts, and she also played a significant role in Allen's ability to travel to Roya.

These are the reasons why I am grateful to them. Therefore, I have been somewhat biased in some matters.
Please ask Izoruti to go back and speak with Her Majesty the Water God. I will personally visit her another day to explain that this was not Boreas deliberately ignoring Erkel's feelings.

In my opinion, Isorita is also a very skilled swordswoman. Having grown up with Allen since childhood, she is a perfect noblewoman. I'm proud that Isorita accepted Allen.

Izuru held Hilda's hand tightly, trying to respond to her words with explanations such as that her grandmother didn't mean it that way and there must have been some misunderstanding. However, while she was talking, a single thought kept swirling in her mind, making it impossible for her to concentrate.

Although he thought three wives was a lot, it was nothing compared to the number of wives and concubines of other nobles.

My senior brother is the sole heir of Boreas.
And what will my senior do if all three of us get pregnant at the same time?
Should we ask the maids to solve this?

Don't do this kind of thing.
but
but
She recalled the noble ladies who had lined up outside the Boreas mansion at noon, and pondered the matter again and again, feeling the warmth of Hilda's hand.

Ultimately, she still couldn't accept that the women outside the door were having an affair with Allen.
Vulgar and mediocre women, clinging to power and influence, outwardly beautiful but inwardly rotten.

How could I possibly be worthy of my senior brother?

At the very least, they should be outstanding women like Luo Qixi and Xilufei, who genuinely like their senior brother, care about him, and can become his right-hand women, right?

restaurant.

Paul, Lilia, and the others had returned to their residence to rest after the meal.

Allen and Alstead walked quickly into the mansion. Along the way, the maids were terrified by the cursed aura of the dragon boss.

The two pushed open the door and entered, only to see the travel-worn Gilead sitting in the dining room, gulping down water, while Aisha was serving her.

Allen flashed forward and rushed to the edge of the dining table to ask Gilead the question that concerned him most:
What does "the cult of gods and men" mean?

—The moment Allen received the letter, he asked Alsteed about it.

Rudy's timeline has never heard of any cult of gods or humans, but it's possible that Alster's other reincarnations have encountered such things before.

After all, the abilities and characteristics of gods and humans can easily brainwash believers, so it wouldn't be surprising if a god-human cult were to emerge.

But to everyone's surprise, even Alsteed didn't know.

So the two of them discussed it and immediately returned to gather information.

However, even though Alsted's expression was tense, he maintained basic patience and stopped outside the restaurant to avoid affecting Gilead.

Kyrie Irwin paused, looking at Allen's face. Under Allen's gaze, her expression hesitated, as if she were pondering how to begin, or perhaps there were words she couldn't bring herself to say. Finally, after a moment of hesitation, she spoke with a serious expression:
"Um, may I ask who you are?"

Aisha:
Allen:
Then, Kyrie Irvine's nose twitched. She sniffed Allen's scent and looked into Allen's eyes with some surprise: "Allen?"

Allen pulled out the letter he had received: "It's genuine. The situation is urgent. Please tell me about Alice's situation, Gilead."

Things were simpler than Allen had imagined:
A traitor has appeared in the Holy Land of Swords; he is a sword saint.

This person developed his own power in the northern villages surrounding the Holy Land of Swords under the name of the Cult of Gods and Man, proclaimed himself the Sword King, and attempted to challenge the orthodoxy of the Holy Land of Swords.

Garr regarded him as a clown and ignored him out of consideration for their past relationship.

But this guy's behavior escalated, and he actually managed to attract a lot of fanatical followers. These people claimed to be apostles of God and Man, loyal to God, and following the dreams that God gave them, and established a sect of God and Man.

By the time Gilead returned, the force had grown to several hundred men.

Keep in mind that the Holy Land of Swords doesn't even have a few hundred people.

This action thoroughly enraged Gar, who gave Alice a mission: to take Nina and Kino and capture the traitor from the Holy Land of Swords and bring him back.

If the mission is successful, Alice will be allowed to challenge herself. If she can withstand one move, she will be awarded the title of Sword King.

"Alice accepted this mission?"

The big cat nodded, looking at Allen:

Alice believes that Allen's decision to go out for training without telling her and to return to the capital without telling her either must mean that he thinks she is not qualified to travel with him.

Ultimately, it's because she's too weak, and the gap between her and Allen is widening.

Allen learned the Light Blade in just one year, and his first swing of the Light Blade was at the King level.

She has been working hard for two years now, but she is stuck at the Saint level and cannot make any progress.

She felt unworthy to stand beside Allen if things continued this way. Therefore, she would only return to the capital after obtaining the title of Sword King.

Allen:
This is so Alice.

She is sincere, passionate, stubborn, and adorable, like a silly dog.

However, the issue of the cult of gods and men is very problematic.

Looking back now, was it really just a coincidence that Alice returned from the Sword Sanctuary at the right time to help Rudy fight Orsteed in Rudy's timeline?
This 'coincidence' can be explained either by God's perverse pleasure of tormenting Rudy before his death, or by His desire to create more variables and add weight to Alsted's plan to kill Rudy.

In other words, since the gods and humans are now desperate, they might try to manipulate Alice into doing something.

Allen turned to look at Alsteed standing at the restaurant entrance.

The latter read Allen's thoughts in his eyes.

He was about to set off immediately to personally make a trip to the Holy Land of Swords.
